Endoscopic Spinal Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery utilizes a method referred to as endoscopic surgery to complete complex surgeries and vastly improve the patient’s experience. Traditionally, surgeons had to make large incisions to have full access to see and correct internal problems. Modern technologies have enabled surgical teams to provide endoscopic and laparoscopic methods for even the most complex neck and spinal surgical procedures.

Unlike open surgery which requires incisions often exceeding 10″ the endoscopic process usually requires two or three incisions which may be as small as 1″. Through the small incisions the surgeon can insert a small tube shaped instrument with a camera and light, and use another tube to insert surgical implements and complete the procedure. Endoscopic surgery provides numerous advantages to both the surgical team and the patient.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Endoscopic techniques may be used to complete many of our spinal surgical procedures. There are several types of procedures, each being suited to address specific complications or conditions. All of the procedures that we offer are well established (not experimental surgeries) and are proven to have the potential to provide excellent results in most cases.
